Addendum: Luane Davis

Contemporary theatre practitioners continue to be influenced by Delsarte’s ideas, either through Delsarte’s own words or books about him, or through others who were influenced by him. Two practitioners responded to our call for articles, and we have included photographs and text from each of them

Studies on the use of peat and perlite as media for growing vegetable plants

The success of many vegetable enterprises depends greatly upon the production of healthy and vigorous plants for field setting. There are many problems confronting the producer in this phase of horticulture. While facilities like greenhouse, plant beds and other equipment must be available and properly controlled, successful plant growing is just as dependent upon the media in which the plants are raised. During the year 1959 (16), in the State of Tennessee alone, cut flowers, potted plants, florist greens and bedding plants were grown under glass covering an area of 2,236,126 square feet. Vegetables, flower seeds, vegetable seeds and vegetable plants were grown under glass covering 175,972 square feet. Soil as propagating media has drawbacks and poses many problems. The presence of soil pathogens is an important factor not to be ignored in plant production. Damping-off and related diseases of nursery crops are most frequently caused by soil borne Rhizoctonia solanii, but also by water molds (Phythium and Phybopthora Spp). The eradication of these pathogens is both costly and laborious. The presence of nematodes and noxious weed seeds in the soil causes much damage. The eradication of nematodes from soil involves high cost and labor. Removal of weeds from the seed bed is equally laborious and costly. Small amounts of various salts are necessary for plant development, but excessive concentrations cause injury or death. Salts accumulate in soils from irrigation water or from application of fertilizers in excessive amounts or by the use of manures gathered in places where they have accumulated large amounts of salts. Such salt accumulations result in death or weakening of the plant making it more susceptible to attack by pathogens. In general, media used in. growing plants need to be sterilized either chemically or by heat. Plant injury due to toxins, is another of the important problems facing the grower using the conventional treated soil mixes. Soil mixtures high in readily decomposable organic matter are most likely to give injury after steaming. The plants may develop injury, such as stunting, dropping of leaves, root corrosion, or even die. The problems stated above, led the growers to seek a uniform mixture for raising seedlings and nursery stock successfully. This resulted in the development of the John Innes mixes at the John Innes Horticultural Institution during 1934-39. But these mixes had disadvantages in that variability resulted from the use of composted nonuniform turf. The time involved, space and labor, as well as toxic residues being produced after steaming left much to be desired. These drawbacks led to the development of the University of California system of soil mixes and treatments, in 1941 (I). The physical base of the U. C, -type mix consists of an inorganic material-fine sand, and an organic fraction - sphagnum peat moss properly fertilized. This mix has many desirable features such as, chemical uniformity and relative inertness, good drainage and aeration, relatively inexpensive, light in weight and satisfactory water holding capacity. Investigations in the use of inorganic materials as a base for plant growing has led recently to perlite - an inorganic material of volcanic origin. Much work has been done at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station (10), and is being done in other places on the use of perlite for raising ornamental plants, but work on its use as a media for raising vegetable plants is meagre. The object of the present study is to evaluate the use of the inorganic material perlite in combination with organic fraction peat moss in raising vegetable plants. The investigation aims at bringing out the effect of various combinations of such media on the germination, growth rate and yield of plants

Adjusting the margins: Building bridges between deaf and hearing cultures through performance arts

This study addresses a gap in scholarship on leadership styles in the Deaf community. There is an invisible style of leadership differing from the mainstream culture that has not been previously addressed in the literature at any depth. My study was composed of three interlocking parts in a sequence that constitutes the practice of anthropology: fieldwork, analysis, and presentation. The foundation for my fieldwork was an “archeology of the structure of the perceived world” (Merleau-Ponty), using the holding environment of the rehearsal process and the structural process of an acting technique called Del-Sign. Del- Sign is a fusion acting style that I created by combining American Sign Language and the Delsarte method. I also employed current qualitative methods described as “performance ethnography” (Norman Denzin and Ron Pelias). The fieldwork of creating discussion groups, which I call salons, provided the initial material, my analysis process turned that material into a performance script; and audience participation in the form of talk-back sessions after the performance provided documentation for the results of the presentation. I provided data for the fieldwork with journaling and videotaping events in rehearsals and performances, director’s notes, and observations. The participants in this study offered great contributions to the research design, and social and cultural contexts were shifted by their action in the research. Their participation was analyzed in the context of Action Research (Argyris, 1985). The resulting findings from the data were compared to anthropological and folkloric theories of performance and style. I was able to create and study a bridge, created through performance, between a hearing audience and a marginalized and, therefore, often oppressed Deaf culture. Analysis of the data indicted that this performance bridge was the critical element of potential “change” in my study, thus addressing the gap in scholarly literature. Individuals in both the audience and the cast reported a change in perception about the opposing culture. The study results also indicated a unique style of leadership by Deaf people within a Deaf community that is collaborative in nature yet values the individual. I trust further study into that aspect of Deaf leadership will indeed adjust the margins of society
